Just released today, it is a full state map with a ton of information.
After years of researching and mapping and camping and scouting Central PA, I finally got to meet the people who have been communicating with me about the hobby for years
I was offered a chance to attend the Mid Atlantic Overland Festival and help out in the Purple Lizard Maps vendor tent...
Hoping, Wishing, Praying, having a seance that I can pull off a road trip tomorrow.
I have a few of the additional routes through the planning stage and into the scouting phase.
The family wants to head out towards Pittsburgh this long weekend, and I saw it as an opportunity to scout some of...
So, if you did not know or missed my other ramblings, PA motorized camping has changed.
The formerly free sites are now 10 bucks a night, but the reservation process has become much easier.
And...to my surprise...they got some decent maps of where their sites are.
Tuscarora Rothrock and Bald...
Starting a thread for the coming year to consolidate my thoughts, adventures and projects.
Immediate goals are to hit Elk Sproul and Susquehannock state forest to check campsites and confirm routes.

Not in a position to buy it, just a few months shy...but man would I love to screw adulting, win the bid, fly out and overland it home.
I learned somethings about Forbes that I thought I would share.
They have 6 motorized campsites.
They close their sites for winter.
They are open April 2nd til the last day of rifled deer season. Which would be noon this Saturday. So the Friday of the season would be the last night to camp...
On to my next adventure area. Got the day use map and am starting to plan a route. Another area not yet covered by the Purple Lizard.
So, right off I got a question.
Ridge Road campsites. Any one know anything about them.
They do not show up in searches or on the interactive camping map I...
So I decided to get out to Loyalsock. It is a 2 hour highway drive. But who wants to drive the highway.
So, starting in Rothrock going through Bald Eagle up through Pine Creek and then over to Loyalsock and across is about a 14 hour dirt road extravaganza.
So that is too much for a day...
I have many threads about the forests of Pennsylvania. And this is a supplement to Connecting the forests in Central Pennsylvania.
I have thoroughly explored the lizard maps...and have learned so much from them.
THE GAP, the area between the Moshannon/Quehanna map and the Pine Creek map/Bald...
FALL FOLIAGE, VISTAS AND 4X4 HC TRAILS
Thought I would share a route I take in the fall and early summer to check out the beauty of PA.

Just wanted to brainstorm with my plan. I have been scouting out the area making sure I get plenty of time in the forests while I wait for the opportunity to make it a trip.
I always hear that Pennsylvania just doesn't offer the experiences the west does. But I noticed a lot of people...

Not going to be as spectacular as some, just a 2 day one night trip with my son.(age 7)
Starting in Rothrock and headed to Bald Eagle where we we will spend the night.
Vehicle will be a 2015 RAM 2500 Tradesman. Camping in a ground tent.
